Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


(Staten Island) On Friday, the Atlantic League announced their first recipients of players to be recognized as player/pitcher of the month. For Blue Crabs starter Mitch Lambson, he was named as a co-pitcher of the month, the same day he would make his first start in the new month as he faced off with the Staten Island FerryHawks for the third time this year.

In the first, the Crabs would load up the bases with a couple of walks and a hit by pitch; with two outs, Isaias Quiroz punched one into the outfield to score two runs and give the Crabs a 2-0 lead.

The bottom of the second was led off with a solo home run by Christian Santana. After that, Lambson would retire 20 consecutive hitters and put up six straight zeros on the FerryHawks. Even getting around a two-out double from Kevin Krause to carry a 2-1 lead into the ninth.

Staten Island led off with a single from Mitchell Piatnik and then a sac bunt from Adrian Sanchez after putting the tying run into scoring position. That would spell the end for Lambson, as Stan Cliburn turned to Andre Scrubb to close the game. Scrubb got a ground ball, and the tying run moved to third; a walk and stolen base had the winning run at second. Scrubb, going up against Santana, struck him out to end the game.

Mitch Lambson is now 6-0 this year after going 8.1 innings; his ERA has plummeted to a 2.40 through seven starts. Andre Scrubb made a save; it is his seventh this season. The Blue Crabs are now 17-12 and a half-game behind the York Revolution for first place.

Game two is scheduled for 4:00; Daryl Thompson will pitch for the Blue Crabs, as fans can watch the Prince of La Plata go for 1000 ALPB strikeouts on FloSports.
